What's the best ChatGPT app for generative photo edits?

Last tested .

Direct answer

Photoshop, but only if you already pay for Adobe Creative Cloud. Its generative-fill quality is meaningfully higher than alternatives for photo retouching. Without an existing subscription, Canva is the more sensible default — its photo edits are good enough for most marketing and social uses, and there's a free tier.
